2020, The Era of Remote Learning
Students lose the thread of a lesson the second Zoom freezes, and rejoining costs the whole class another few minutes. The reason is nearly always a single home internet connection trying to carry a full household.
Speedify is an app that uses Wi-Fi and 4G/5G cellular data together, so a slow patch on one of them does not knock the classroom offline.
Common Zoom problems in remote classrooms come first here, then the settings to change on your device, and finally what a lesson looks like with Speedify keeping the internet connection steady.
With Speedify, your internet stays on when one connection fails.
When one of your connections drops, Speedify automatically routes your traffic to your remaining connections — so calls don't cut out and downloads don't stall.
Common Issues with Zoom Streaming Service
Zoom requires a stable internet connection to work best. Without that, your student could be disconnected or experience bad reception during the lecture. Never get frustrated and left behind on a lesson when this is an easy situation to fix.
The most common causes of Zoom session issues are either a faulty setup of the microphone / speakers or the Internet you’re using. When you have a slow or unreliable Internet connection, Zoom isn’t able to work properly. Sometimes, you may not even realize that you have a connectivity issue until you try to use the service. And it’s most annoying when it happens during an important live class session.
Zoom video conferencing uses a lot of bandwidth. Your device is sending a complex set of data packets to the device of the person you are trying to talk to, their device is sending packets of data to you.
If your Wi-Fi connection has a momentary blip or your cellular connection fluctuates, some of the flow of those packets gets interrupted. It can take a few moments for the data to catch up.
This results in slow Zoom, moments when the audio cuts in and out, where the video lags, and where the audio and video don’t sync properly. It can also lead to Zoom disconnecting.
How to Improve your Zoom Video Calls
As mentioned above, Zoom will perform as good as your Internet can perform. At this time, whether you’re using a laptop, a desktop computer or a mobile device, it only uses one connection at a time. Even though you may be connected to both WiFi and cellular data on your smartphone, it’ll use only one of them. So, the solution for fast, reliable and secure Internet is simple: use a secure channel bonding service, like Speedify.
Speedify improves the performance of Zoom sessions. That’s because it improves your Internet connection. The Speedify app works by monitoring the quality of your Internet connections in the background and can bond all available connections simultaneously in a single “pipe”. This improves your bandwidth and connection reliability, fixing Zoom connectivity issues and leading to a smoother and fault-free conference.
If your home Internet suddenly drops and you’re also connected to a cellular network, for example, you will stay connected seamlessly because Speedify intelligently and automatically reroutes your data until you are connected again to both networks. Best of all, you don’t notice anything because Speedify takes care of it all in the background.
